SOLAS II-2 Part B covers which topic?

• A. General
• B. Prevention of fire and explosion
• C. Suppression of fire
• D. Escape

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is what Part B of SOLAS II-2 covers. Part II-2 deals with fire safety on ships, and its Part B specifically focuses on preventing fires and explosions. It lays out requirements and measures aimed at avoiding ignition sources, controlling flammable materials, electrical and equipment safety, ventilation, and overall design and housekeeping practices that reduce the risk of fire starting in the first place. This preventive focus is why the topic is described as prevention of fire and explosion. Other aspects of fire safety, such as how to fight a fire or how to evacuate people, are addressed in different sections, not Part B.
